Most POPULAR fighter ever

No, I mean worldwide...seriously, it isnt close.

 

No.


Edit: Who is Joe Montana?

 

Arf.

He's a nonentity outside netball circles.

I doubt one person in a hundred worldwide could tell what position he plays/played, I know I couldn't.

 

Wrong.

It's Pele's creativity that makes him special.

Pick a Pele youtube at random and it's odds on it won't just be a load of goals, it'll contain massive innovation, flair and power.

Pele's rep suffers these days because he never played in Europe.

 

Ali and Eddy Merckx

 

he consistently had those massive crowds.

first million dollar gate.

held the world record attendence from the 2nd tunney fight until chavez beat it in 93.

 

Easily Frank Bruno. Even people who dont know anything about boxing loved Big Franck and that what separates him from the other boxers named so far!

 

Muhammed Ali

 

ali dlh hatton trinidad tyson

 

Ummm, maybe you should go back and read who I was referring to. We were speaking of Ali....

:rofl

And what the **** is ARF???

:huh

 

In Brazil its Acelino "Popó" Freitas, followed by Adilson "Maguila" Rodrigues.
Here almost nobody knows the ATG Eder Jofre.

And Pelé is the most popular athlete ever.

 

Ah, if it was Ali you were referring to you're stone correct.

Arf is an expression of mockery one might use when, for instance, someone claims "Jordan" is a worldwide phenomenon...which was, uh, misplaced in this instance granted.

 

These ingorant jordan toolbags are showing themselves up as the ignorant Americans they are stereotyped as.

I know Jordan and that he played Guard. But he doesnt come close to Ali, Pele, Maradona, Best, Charlton, Eusabio.

Fact is, Soccer is a thousand times more popular than basketball. Soccer is the worlds sport. America is in the minority and can't grasp that as the posters on here seem to think its the center of the ****ing universe!!!

 

So? Soccer isn't really America's sport.. Who cares? America loves basketball and Jordan is still a great..

 

He is a great. I appreciate American Sports. I have a seat a Giants stadium and watch the Mets too. But the point is, there are many more popular sportsmen due to the fact his popularity is MAILY confined the the USA
